The Goreme Open Air Museum is located in the Goreme Valley, with more than 30 rock cave churches decorated with exquisite frescoes, some of which are well preserved and colorful. Cave paintings The murals of cave churches are all painted with lime on the walls. When the lime is wet, they are painted with well-tuned pigments. Most of the content tells the stories of the Bible, and some churches only have simple cross patterns. These famous frescoes are generally painted in the 12th-13th centuries. The Church of Slippers (Çarıklı Kilise) is named after the figure in the fresco wearing slippers. The frescoes in the Church of the Serpent (Yilanlı Kilise) depict the scene of St. George repelling the snake. Because the dark church is isolated from light, the frescoes in the church are very well preserved. The scenes of the conception announcement, the trip to Bethlehem, the last supper and other scenes still retain bright colors, which are amazing.
